The package includes support for colors, widths, and localization via alternative calendars and Babel for internationalization.\n\nThe library is a pure Python implementation with no compiled dependencies, making it straightforward to install. However, the package has been abandoned since 2020-10-29 and receives no maintenance; while it remains functional for the format codes it supports, it will not be updated for newer Python versions or new format specifications.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to format numbers and dates using spreadsheet format codes and can accept an abandoned package. The library is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, do not use it if you require ongoing maintenance, support for Python versions beyond 3.8, or fixes for edge cases\u2014the last release was 2020-10-29 with no subsequent updates."},"id":"ssf","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ssf","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ssf.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ssf/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-12-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ssf","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Spreadsheet Number Format processor - a Python port of SheetJS/ssf.js"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":936304,"position":4692,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.2"}
